Flying Eagles Hold First Training Session Ahead Showdown With Boys From Brazil

The Flying Eagles held their first training session on New Zealand soil on Wednesday morning .

After a trip across three continents, the squad arrived in New Plymouth on Tuesday and quickly settled down at Quality Hotel Plymouth International.

The weather in New Plymouth is chilly and raining as this is the beginning of winter in New Zealand. Locals say it is colder than Auckland.

Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho was the first Nigerian player to arrive in New Zealand while the duo of Moses Simon (Gent ) and Isaac Success ( Granada) are still being expected.

Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm that Simon departed Belgium last night for Oceania, venue of the competition.

The Nigeria Under 20s will take on one of the pre- tournament favourites Brazil on June 1.
